On tap at the brewpub, this pours a hazy orange color, with a with a small white head. It has a pleasing citrusy malty smell. The taste is complex. There is initially orange peel and lemon on the tongue, followed by a malty overtone, with just a hint of bitterness on the tip of the tongue. There is no overt alcohol flavor. I don't know the abv, but this one goes down very easily. Well done!

Consumed between a Winter Ale and a Barrel-Aged Rosie's, 11-25-04, National Conspicuous Consumption Day...
Thick, cloudy amber appearance, slim, creamy white head.
Sweetness starts it, in the aroma, sugary and fruity, yeasty, too, but not overly forward.
Very pleasant taste, big carbonation, flush and full in the mouth. Light to medium-bodied, loaded with fruity notes throughout, banana/peach esters rising up.
Very easy-drinking, but substantial, brew. Loaded with flavor, a truly tasty treat. I recommend it as an aperatif, post any of BJ's fine entrees.
